Why does it matter where a root name server is physically located? Sorry, I should rephrase that: why does it matter where a route for a root name server gets announced?
IMO a 200ms RTT over IPv6 has to be better than an infinite RTT.
Although I agree in principle from a DNS perspective - the high RTT in most occasions indicates tunneling. And although tunneling per-se is not that bad, it is much more vulnerable to problems in the underlaying routing and most of all, much harder to diagnose from the "outside".
